FxPro and Exness both earn 4 out of 5 stars for commissions and fees, but they take different routes to pricing. FxPro ranks #31 out of 36 brokers for this category, while Exness ranks #33 out of 36. In simple terms, FxPro’s trading costs are generally higher than the industry average, which can make it less appealing for fee-conscious traders compared with some top low-cost competitors.
FxPro’s lowest-cost pricing is on its cTrader platform, where fees are commission-based and the effective EUR/USD spread is about 1.27 pips after spread and commission are combined. On MT4 and MT5, FxPro mainly uses variable spreads, with EUR/USD spreads around 1.58 pips on market execution MT4 accounts, 1.51 pips on MT5, and 1.71 pips on instant execution accounts. FxPro also offers an Elite account with Active Trader discounts of up to 30%, but overall its pricing still tends to sit above many rivals.
Exness gives traders more account choices, and its costs depend heavily on the account type. The commission-free Standard Cent, Standard, and Pro accounts rely on market execution, with Pro offering the tightest spreads and both instant and market execution options. For lower spread trading, Exness also has the Zero Spread account, which charges a $0.05 per-trade commission, and the Raw account, which charges up to $7 per round turn lot. For traders who want a mix of spreads and commissions, Exness can be flexible, but its overall ranking suggests its fee structure is still not as competitive as the best-priced brokers.

FxPro offers a wider range of investments than Exness overall. Both brokers support forex trading as CFDs or spot contracts, and both let you trade cryptocurrency CFDs rather than buy actual crypto. However, FxPro stands out with 2,278 tradeable symbols compared with Exness’s 239, plus 75 forex pairs versus Exness’s 78. FxPro also gives access to exchange-traded securities on international exchanges, while Exness does not offer these non-CFD shares.
For extra features, FxPro includes copy trading, which Exness does not. Neither broker offers exchange-traded U.S. stocks or delivered cryptocurrency. Based on range of investments, FxPro is rated 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #24 out of 36 brokers, while Exness scores 3.5 stars and ranks #37.

Dive deeper: Best Copy Trading Platforms.
FxPro and Exness both give traders a strong set of platform choices, including free demo accounts, Windows desktop apps, web-based trading, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and the ability to place trades straight from a chart. Each broker also earns 4 out of 5 stars for trading platforms and tools, so both are well suited for traders who want familiar software and flexible ways to access the markets. In this side-by-side, Exness has a slight edge in the ForexBrokers.com category ranking, placing #15 out of 36 brokers, while FxPro ranks #18.
The biggest difference is that Exness offers its own in-house trading platform, while FxPro does not. On the other hand, FxPro offers copy trading and Exness does not, which may matter for users who want to follow other traders’ strategies. If you want a broker with a proprietary platform, Exness stands out; if copy trading is more important, FxPro is the better fit. Overall, both brokers cover the basics well, but each one adds a different extra feature that may sway your choice.

FxPro and Exness both offer mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android, along with price alerts, watchlist syncing, and the ability to draw trendlines on charts.

In this area, the two apps are similar in the basics, so the better choice depends more on the details of charting and app usability.
When it comes to mobile charting, Exness has the edge with 100 technical studies, compared with 65 for FxPro. However, FxPro does better in other key areas, including auto-saving chart drawings, which Exness does not offer.

For beginners comparing educational resources, FxPro and Exness both provide at least 10 beginner-focused videos on trading basics, and both also offer forex or CFD education with a wide range of learning materials. FxPro stands out with a slightly higher education rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a stronger overall rank at #17 out of 36 brokers, while Exness is rated 3.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #20.
